Apple sink or float anchor chart

We had such a blast last week finishing up our unit on apples! The kids were so excited Friday when they were able to tell people around the school all they learned! We learned about how an apple grow

Sink or float anchor chart PreK

This is a fun and engaging science activity to do during an apple unit. The students draw the apple and predict if the apple will float or sink. Then the teacher drops an apple in a tub of water and students observe if the apple floats or sinks! It's always a hit! then the students color thumbs up if it floated or thumbs down if the apple did not float. Lastly, the students draw what they observe, an apple floating on the top of the water.

Apple boats are fun and easy to make. Most importantly, they let you discover whether or not an apple will sink or float in water. Great STEM activity for the fall!

Isn’t it an amazing fact that apples are so lightweight that they float? The apple floats because the apple is less dense than water. When the apple is resting on water, it displaces an amount of water which weighs the same as the whole apple. Objects more dense than water sink because even when fully submerged they do not displace enough water to equal their weight.

Engaging apple-themed science experiments, STEM challenges, and crafts perfect for fall! This blog post features hands-on activities like building apple towers, designing apple boats, and exploring the parts of an apple through creative crafts. Students will love investigating why apples float, what keeps them from browning, and even making apple volcanoes. With both print and digital recording options, these activities are perfect for integrating technology into your fall curriculum.

Last week in preschool we learned about apples. What a fun week we had tasting, counting, painting, exploring and reading about apples...
